Not every Oscar-worthy film is a mammoth, Speilbergian effort. Small stuff's good too, and what better showcase than the Oscar nominated animated shorts. You've probably heard of Paperman, and the animation tech behind it, but another one, Adam and Dog has popped up on YouTube and it's worth a watch.

Put together by Minkyu Lee, Adam and Dog isn't much for talking, but it spins a great little story nonetheless. Telling the tale of the titualr Dog and Adam (yes, that Adam), it makes for an interesting little side-story to one of the most well known creation stories. And, more than anything it drives home that eternal truth that makes you feel all fuzzy inside: Dog's got your back. [via Geekosystem]
